Overview and Highlights
Step into the breathtaking landscapes of Joshua Tree National Park, where vast desert plains meet rugged mountains under endless blue skies. More than a million people visit each year—yet only a handful venture beyond the one mile from the parking.
On this immersive journey, you’ll join a diverse group of young adventurers from around the world to explore the park’s quieter corners, push your limits, and discover what genuine connection—to nature, to others, and to yourself—really feels like.
As night falls, you’ll witness one of the clearest, most star-filled skies on Earth. By day, you’ll hike through forests of iconic Joshua Trees, encounter a variety of birds, animals, and desert plants, and learn how to thrive in this awe-inspiring wilderness.
This experience isn’t just about adventure—it’s about respect and stewardship. These lands are the ancestral home of many Indigenous peoples, the original caretakers of this desert. We honor their past, present, and future by following Outward Bound California guidelines, ensuring our presence leaves no trace and protects the fragile ecosystem.

Activity Setting
Joshua Tree National Park
Welcome to a desert that feels otherworldly — where wind and time have carved granite monoliths, narrow canyons, and sweeping plateaus. Three distinct ecosystems converge here, creating dramatic contrasts: sun-drenched days filled with golden boulders and crisp nights lit by constellations. Since its designation in 1936, this park has drawn explorers, artists, and dreamers alike.
Mojave Desert
With its mild fall, winter, and spring climate, the Mojave is ideal for multi-day hikes and starlit camping. While rainfall is rare, sudden thunderstorms and even snowstorms can transform the landscape into something truly magical. Expect daytime temperatures between 50–70°F (10–21°C), with nighttime lows dipping into the 30s (around 0°C). Cozy sleeping bags and warm drinks will be your best friends as you settle in each evening.
